Scope and Content Note
The papers of Isidor Isaac Rabi (1898-1988) span the years 1899-1988, with
the bulk of the material dated between 1945 and 1968. The collection
documents significant but not all portions of Rabi's life, concentrating
heavily on his interests during the later stages of World War II, his
service on government policy-making committees in the field of nuclear
energy during the 1950s and 1960s, and, to a more limited degree, his
teaching career. The papers contain correspondence both to and from Rabi,
memoranda, minutes of meetings, reports, charts, graphs, press releases,
bulletins, invitations, contracts, newspaper clippings, draft and printed
copies of speeches, articles and lectures, notebooks, and miscellaneous
material. Letters relating to his wife, Helen, and other correspondence are
filed in the Miscellany at the end of the collection.
Born of Jewish parentage in 1898 in what is now Poland but at that time
part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Rabi came to America with his mother
in the year following his birth. His father, who had come the year before,
eventually opened a small grocery store. The younger Rabi grew up in
working class areas in Manhattan and Brooklyn and showed great interest in
the physical and social sciences, photography, and many other endeavors
open to youths of his day with an aptitude for learning. Earning
scholarships to Cornell University, he majored in chemistry and was
graduated near the top of his class. After failing to win a fellowship to
continue his studies in chemistry, Rabi directed his interests to the
"irreducibility of matter" and the "whys" of molecular structure rather
than observing and recording chemical reactions. He switched his field to
physics and entered the doctoral program at Columbia University, supporting
himself by teaching and lecturing at the City College of New York.
He received his doctorate in 1927, went to Europe to study quantum
mechanics, and then taught quantum mechanics at Columbia. Combining
laboratory experiments and teaching during the 1930s, Rabi attained
recognition for his studies using the molecular beam and the magnetic
resonance method of studying the atom. Publications from these experiments
formed the basis for such modern technology as lasers, the atomic clock,
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. These studies culminated
in the Nobel Prize in physics in 1944.
As the world came closer to war in the late 1930s and as fear of Germany
and its military intentions spread to America, Rabi joined other leading
scientists in pressuring the United States government to fund projects to
develop atomic power before Germany gained overwhelming advantages. Taking
a leave of absence from Columbia in 1940, he went to the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) Radiation Laboratory for work in radar and
became a consultant to the atomic bomb project at Los Alamos, New Mexico.
When the war ended, he worked to persuade the government to develop a
science policy for the future that did not separate scientific research
from the cultural or political context of American society. His writings
during this period, however, indicate that he was not optimistic that
politicians would truly understand science, which he termed "the first of
the liberating arts."
The General Correspondence series, dated 1927-1987, is chiefly concerned
with his career as a teacher, lecturer, and advisor on scientific matters.
His correspondents include many well-known figures in the scientific and
political communities. Subjects discussed include the importance of
education in science and technology, Rabi's work in the development of
radar and the atomic bomb, the relationship between science and the
humanities in his 1970 publication Science: the Center of Culture(see
Speech, Article, Writings and Lecture File), and civilian control of atomic
energy. Letters and telegrams regarding Rabi's 1944 Nobel Prize in physics
are filed in the collection's Miscellany.
The state of physics research in America during the 1920s, the difficulty
that Jews faced in securing tenure in academia, Rabi's European experience
in the 1920s, and Edward Condon's problems retaining security privileges in
the 1950s are discussed in correspondence between Rabi and Condon filed in
the General Correspondence series. The "Jewish" question is also discussed
in correspondence of Louis Finkelstein who tried to interest Rabi in
writing at length on the topic. Physics experiments and math are the
subject of letters from Charles G. Darwin, J. H. Van Vlect, and Karl
Compton. Polykarp Kusch wrote friendly and informative letters regarding
life at institutions other than Columbia University and social, personal
and family matters. Robert Oppenheimer sympathized with Rabi's reasons for
not entering the program at Los Alamos and expressed gratitude for his
interest in helping the program as a consultant.
The Columbia University Office File, 1924-1987, the largest series in the
collection, is concentrated in the post-World War II period and related to
Rabi's career at Columbia as well as his service as a scientific advisor to
numerous government agencies and committees. Files prior to the late 1940s
include Rabi's work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the
Joint Research and Development Board during World War II. Files between the
years 1950 and 1987 concern scientific research on the national and
international level and Rabi's interest in the peaceful uses of atomic
energy. A significant portion of the files in this series relate to his
work with the United Nations from 1946 to 1979.
Rabi's work with other organizations and committees is documented in such
files as " Aberdeen Proving Grounds, " " Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency" (ACDA), " Atomic Energy Commission, " " North Atlantic Treaty
Organization, " " President's Science Advisory Committee, " and " Pugwash
International Conference on Nuclear Proliferation. " Throughout the files
are discussions regarding radar development, conscription of scientists,
and strategic use of atomic weapons ( Aberdeen files); nuclear test ban
(ACDA); attempt to retain Enrico Fermi at Columbia University after the war
and population control (Office of Scientific Research and Development);
government participation in problems of underdeveloped areas, the reduction
of tensions between East and West, using the scientific community to smooth
relations between allies, and the government's space program (President's
Science Advisory Committee) .
Much in the Columbia University series describes Rabi's association with
the radiation laboratory at MIT, the Joint Research and Development Board,
and the Brookhaven National Laboratories, which he was instrumental in
founding. Rabi's efforts in national and international organizations were
in large part devoted to developing peaceful uses of atomic energy. Files
in this series also relate to the atomic bomb, the nuclear age, the role of
NATO, and the United Nations. Rabi's tenure at Columbia University is
represented in the Columbia University Internal subseries relating to the
administration of the Physics Department, "networking" through other
universities to secure students and teachers for a variety of positions,
and scientific conferences, meetings, and associations of interest to Rabi
as executive officer of the department.
Rabi's thoughts regarding humanism and science, his efforts in arms
control, and science and education, though mentioned in his correspondence,
are more comprehensively discussed in his speeches and writings in the
Speech, Article, Writings, and Lecture File, 1942-1987. Notable files
include his article entitled "The Physicist Returns from the War,"
published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1945, in which he discussed the
subordination of pure science to industrial needs, his article on
Oppenheimer, and other articles on the atomic bomb and humanism. Technical
writings filed with this series relate to the atomic nucleus, various
aspects of the electron and magnetic field theories, and molecular beams.
Public policy and the government's role in the sciences are subjects of
many of Rabi's lectures. His speeches reflect, as do a large part of his
articles, his interest in keeping the public aware of science as a useful
tool for human affairs.
The Academic File, 1919-1976, documents aspects of Rabi's teaching and
lecturing career as well as his student and postdoctoral years. Notebooks
relate to his research in the 1930s and include notes generated from
lectures given by physicists Otto Stern and Wolfgang Pauli between 1927 and
1929 regarding quantum mechanics and molecular beam theory.
Many items in the Printed Matter series, 1938-1985, supplement files in the
Columbia University Office File. Biographical items relating to Rabi and
others, including correspondence, academic and other awards, material
regarding his Nobel Prize in physics, and correspondence of Rabi's wife,
Helen, are among the Miscellany series, 1899-1988. The Lantern Slides and
Experimental Apparatus, 1930-1955, Classified Material, 1945-1972, and
Oversize series, 1924-1987, complete the collection.
Correspondents include Edouardo Amaldi, Ruth Nanda Anshen, Hans Bethe,
Felix Bloch, Niels Bohr, Vannevar Bush, Edward Condon, Lee A. DuBridge,
Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, Polykarp Kusch, J. Robert Oppenheimer,
Wolfgang Pauli, Emilio Segrč, Lewis L. Strauss, Leo Szilard, Harold C.
Urey, J. H. Van Vleck, Antonino Zichichi, and Solly Zuckerman.
